| Summary: | Information Technology Governance (ITG) is
the deliberate behaviour adopted by senior management in the
corporate design of IT for the enterprise use to enable continuous
performance. ITG Absorptive Capacity is the organisational
competence in recognising, acquiring or creating valuable new
business-IT knowledge; assimilating or transforming and
applying it, to ensure continuous performance. The study
explored past studies to learn how ITG has evolved in the
knowledge space. It empirically explores universities in a
developing nation context to verify a model of ITG evolved based
on earlier efforts. Using survey methodology, it distributed
questionnaires to senior management employees drawn from ten
universities in Malaysia. Using the multiple regression techniques
to analyse the data thus obtained, this study finds that Absorptive
Capacity best explains the influence of ITG on performance. This
study thus contributes theoretically to knowledge on ITG and
absorptive capacity coming up with symbolic links of expected to
spur ITG researchers interest. IT should serve as a valuable
dynamic capability which when complemented with knowledge
capabilities should beget performance. This study thus equipped
practitioners with firsthand information on what to consider
when talking ITG in universities. |
